The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
The straight definition is Comic character — someone very funny is often called "a scream". The rest is a whimsical bit of wordplay: read "yellow" as "yell ow!", the noise you make when you scream in pain, which points playfully back to SCREAM. The question mark flags the tongue-in-cheek reading.
